ANALYSIS OF FLOODING OF THE TERRITORY OF THE EAST KAZAKHSTAN REGION

Abstract

It is known that the state and development of both the biosphere and human society directly depends on the state of water resources. Among the problems facing humanity in recent decades, experts and politicians put the problem of water in the first place. One of these phenomena is undoubtedly flooding. Floods can sometimes be a source of prosperity, but they can also pose a serious threat to many large settlements. Today, in the course of scientific and technological development, humanity has learned to deal with river disasters to a certain extent, regulate the flow of important rivers, control changes in the water level in the river, etc. b. An important issue today is a comprehensive assessment of possible risks of river flooding. In particular, this applies to the territory of developing countries, where the network of monitoring stations is not yet sufficiently developed, and river systems are poorly studied. The territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan cannot boast of a large number of large rivers and lakes. However, every spring in some areas of the republic there are often problems with flooding. The article considers the consequences of floods typical for some areas of the East Kazakhstan region. The characteristic of the state of the river basin in the spring-summer period and the general river network is given. A brief overview of floods in the study area that have occurred over the past 10 years was conducted. The analysis of the flooding of the river basin with the provision of satellite images is given. Based on the generalization of foreign and domestic experience, engineering and non-engineering measures to reduce the risk of flooding were proposed.
